Wideband graphene-based electro-optic entangler

ABSTRACT

A electronic method, includes receiving, by a graphene structure, a SPP mode of a particular frequency. The electronic method includes receiving, by the graphene structure, a driving microwave voltage. The electronic method includes generating, by the graphene structure, an entanglement between optical and voltage fields.

BACKGROUND

Entanglement has been used in a variety of applications that include quantum teleportation, satellite quantum communication, submarine quantum communication, quantum internet, quantum error correction, and quantum cryptography. Various configurations exist that can initiate entanglement, including the use of a beam splitter, two trapped ions entanglement, and entanglement of two microwave radiations. In the entanglement of microwave and optical fields, several systems exist but have limitations. This includes a sensitivity of a mechanical resonator to thermal noise. In other approaches, a whispering gallery mode resonator filled with electro-optical material may be used. In this approach, an optical field is coupled to the whispering gallery resonator while a microwave field drives the resonator. However, there are limitations that include that the free spectral range of the whispering resonator must match the microwave frequency which can also limit tunability. Thus, there is no effective technique that achieve a wide band entanglement of microwave and optical fields with a large tunability

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings may identify the same or similar elements.

Systems, devices, and/or methods described herein may provide for microwave and optical entanglement using a capacitor loaded with graphene plasmonic waveguide. In embodiments, a quantum microwave signal of a particular frequency may drive a capacitor (e.g., an electrical capacitor) while an optical field (e.g., an optical pump) of a particular frequency is launched to the graphene waveguide in a surface plasmon polariton (i.e., SPP) mode. In embodiments, the two fields (microwave and optical) may interact based on electrically modulating a graphene optical conductivity. As such, upper and lower SPP sideband modes (e.g., ω₂=ω₁+ω_(m) and ω₃=ω₁−ω_(m)) are generated. In embodiments, the microwave signal and the lower SPP sideband are entangled based on a particular pump intensity.

As such, a quantum mechanics model may be generated to determine fields evolution. In embodiments, the entanglement of the microwave and optical fields may be evaluated based on waveguide length, pump intensity, and microwave frequency. In embodiments, the two fields (microwave and optical) may be entangled over a vast microwave frequency range. Additionally, a quantity of entangled photons are also generated at the lower SPP sideband. Thus, the systems and methods described herein provides a tunable mechanism for microwave-optical entanglement within a more efficient quantum system.

Accordingly, microwave and optical fields entanglement may be provided based on electrical capacitor loaded with graphene plasmonic waveguide. In embodiments, the microwave signal may drives parallel plates of the capacitor, with the garphene waveguide supporting a surface plasmon polariton (i.e., SPP) mode. The microwave voltage and the SPP mode interact via electrically modifying the graphene optical conductivity. In embodiments, a driving microwave signal and a lower sideband are entangled for a particular pump intensity |A₁|². In embodiments, the entanglement may be analyzed and changed based on different parameters including the graphene waveguide length, the microwave frequency, the microwave number of photons and the pump intensity. Thus, entanglement occurs, and can be tunable, over a larger frequency range based on particular pump intensities.

FIG. 1 shows an example superconducting parallel plate capacitor loaded with a graphene layer. In embodiments, two plates (each 102) are separated by a distance d and have a particular area (L×W). In embodiments, a graphene layer is located equidistant between the two plates. In alternate embodiments, the graphene layer may be closer to one plate than the other plate. In embodiments, the capacitance may be C=εε₀/d. In embodiments, the capacitance may be driven by a microwave signal as described by equation (1): V _(m) =Ve ^(−iω) ^(m) ^(t) +c.c.  (1)

In embodiments, a transverse magnetic (i.e., TM) surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode is coupled to the graphene waveguide. In embodiments, the SPP mode is described by its associated electrical (and magnetic) fields, given by equations (2) and (3): {right arrow over (E)}=

In embodiments, U(z) is a complex amplitude, D_(x)(x)={(βi/ωεε0)e^(αx) for x<0; (βi/ωεε0)e^(−αx) for x>0}, D_(z) (x)={(αi/ωεε0)e^(αx) for x<0; (αi/ωεε0)e^(−αx) for x>0}, and D_(y)(x)={e^(αx) for x<0; e^(−αx) for x>0} are special distributions of the SPP mode, α=(β²−εk²)^(1/2) and k₀=ω/c are the free space propagation constant, and c is the speed of the light in the vacuum. In embodiments, a dispersion relation of the SPP mode is given by equation (4): β=k ₀(1−(2/Z ₀σ_(s))²)^(1/2)  (4)

In embodiments, Z₀=377Ω is a free space impedance and σ_(s) is the graphene conductivity. In embodiments, for an input SPP mode of frequency ω₁ and a driving microwave voltage of frequency ω_(m), an upper and lower SPP sidebands are generated at frequencies ω₂=ω₁+ω_(m) and ω₃=ω₁−ω_(m) based on graphene conductivity modulation. In embodiments, associated electric fields with these particular SPP modes are given by {right arrow over (E)} _(j)=

In embodiments, j includes {1,2,3}. In embodiments, upon implementing a perturbation approach, the effective propagation constant of the SPP modes can be approximated by βj=β′_(j)+Vβ″e^(−iω) _(m) ^(t)+c.c, and thus, the corresponding effective permittivity of the SPP modes is given by equation (5):

$\begin{matrix} {{e_{{eff}_{j}} = {ɛ_{{eff}_{j}}^{\prime} + {\mathcal{V}\; ɛ_{{eff}_{j}}^{''}e^{{- i}\;\omega_{m}t}} + {c.c.{where}}}}{{ɛ_{{eff}_{j}}^{\prime} = \left( \frac{\beta_{j}^{''}}{k_{0_{j}}} \right)^{2}},{ɛ_{{eff}_{j}}^{''} = {2\frac{\beta_{i}^{\prime}\beta_{j}^{''}}{k_{0_{j}}^{2}}}},\beta_{j}^{\prime}}} & (5) \end{matrix}$ is a solution of the dispersion related to equation (4), and

${\beta_{j}^{''} = {\frac{\beta_{j}^{\prime}}{1 - \left( {\frac{1}{2}Z_{0}\sigma_{s_{j}}^{\prime}} \right)^{2}}\frac{\sigma_{s_{j}}^{''}}{\sigma_{s_{j}}^{\prime}}}},{{and}\mspace{14mu}\sigma_{s_{j\;}}^{''}}$ is the perturbed graphene conductivity term. In embodiments, the SPP modes are contained between two plates with negligible overlapping with the electrodes. In embodiments, the negligible overlapping can be achieved by separating the distance between two electrodes d larger than 1/α. For example, if d=10/α, then 99.99% of the SPP mode is contained within the gap between two parallel plates.

In embodiments, interacting fields can be quantized by the following relations in equation (6):

$\begin{matrix} {{\mathcal{U}_{j} = {\frac{\left( {\hslash\;\omega_{j}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{{\xi_{j}^{\frac{1}{2}}\left( {ɛ_{0}ɛ_{{eff}_{j}}^{\prime}V_{L}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\hat{a}}_{j}}},{{{and}\mspace{14mu}\mathcal{V}} = {\left( \frac{2{\hslash\omega}_{m}}{{\mathcal{C}\mathcal{A}}_{r\;}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\hat{b}}}} & (6) \end{matrix}$ Where â _(j) and {circumflex over (b)} are annihilation operators of the j^(th) optical and microwave fields, respectively. In embodiments, the SPP volume is: V _(L)=

_(r)∫_(−∞) ^(+∞)(|

_(x) _(j) |²+|

|²)∂x and a unit-less parameter is:

$\xi_{j\;} = {\frac{1}{2} + {\frac{\mu_{0}}{2ɛ_{0}ɛ_{{eff}_{j}}^{\prime}}\frac{\int_{- \infty}^{+ \infty}{{\mathcal{D}_{y_{j}}}^{2}{\partial x}}}{\int_{- \infty}^{+ \infty}{\left( {{\mathcal{D}_{x_{j}}}^{2} + {\mathcal{D}_{z_{j}}}^{2}} \right){\partial x}}}}}$ which is introduced to match the expression of the free Hamiltonian of the SPP modes to the expression of the free Hamiltonian of the corresponding unguided fields. Accordingly, the spatial distribution of the SPP modes is completely included in the conversion rates g₂ and g₃. In embodiments, the quantum Hamiltonian is given by equation (7):

${{\hat{\mathcal{H}}}_{0} = {{{\hslash\omega}_{m}{\hat{b}}^{\dagger}\hat{b}} + {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^{3}{{\hslash\omega}_{j}{\hat{a}}_{j}^{\dagger}\;{\hat{a}}_{j}}}}},{and}$ ${\hat{\mathcal{H}}}_{1} = {{\hslash\; g_{2}{\hat{a}}_{2}^{\dagger}\hat{b}\;{\hat{a}}_{1}} + {\hslash\; g_{3}{\hat{a}}_{1}^{\dagger}\hat{b}\;{\hat{a}}_{3}} + {h.c.}}$ with h.c. is the Hermitian conjugate, and g₂ and g₃ are the conversion rates given by equations (9) and (10):

$\begin{matrix} {\mspace{20mu}{g_{2} = {\frac{1}{2}ɛ_{{eff}_{2}}^{''}\sin\;{c\left( {\frac{\beta_{1} - \beta_{2}}{2}L} \right)}{e^{i^{\frac{\beta_{1} - \beta_{2}}{2}L}}\left( \frac{2\omega_{1}\omega_{2}{\hslash\omega}_{m}}{{\mathcal{C}\mathcal{A}}_{r}ɛ_{{eff}_{1}}^{\prime}ɛ_{{eff}_{2}}^{\prime}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{2}}\frac{I_{12}}{\sqrt{\xi_{1}\xi_{2}}}}}} & (9) \\ {\mspace{20mu}{{g_{3} = {\frac{1}{2}ɛ_{{eff}_{3}}^{''}\sin\;{c\left( {\frac{\beta_{3} - \beta_{1}}{2}L} \right)}{e^{i^{\frac{\beta_{3} - \beta_{1}}{2}L}}\left( \frac{2\omega_{3}\omega_{1}{\hslash\omega}_{m}}{{\mathcal{C}\mathcal{A}}_{r}ɛ_{{eff}_{1}}^{\prime}ɛ_{{eff}_{3}}^{\prime}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{2}}\frac{I_{13}}{\sqrt{\xi_{1}\xi_{3}}}}}\mspace{20mu}{where}{I_{mn} = \frac{\int_{- \infty}^{+ \infty}{\left( {{\mathcal{D}_{x_{m}}^{*}\mathcal{D}_{x_{n}}} + {\mathcal{D}_{z_{m}}^{*}\mathcal{D}_{z_{n}}}} \right){\partial x}}}{\sqrt{\int_{- \infty}^{+ \infty}{\left( {{\mathcal{D}_{x_{m}}}^{2} + {\mathcal{D}_{z_{m}}}^{2}} \right){\partial x}}}\sqrt{\int_{- \infty}^{+ \infty}{\left( {{\mathcal{D}_{x_{n}}}^{2} + {\mathcal{D}_{z_{n}}}^{2}} \right){\partial x}}}}}}} & (10) \end{matrix}$

In embodiments, the SPP pump at frequency ω₁ is intensive and treated classically. Thus, substituting a quantum Hamiltonian expression of equation (7) into Heisenberg equations of motion, that is:

$\frac{\partial\hat{x}}{\partial t} = {\frac{i}{\hslash}\left\lbrack {\hat{\mathcal{H}},\hat{x}} \right\rbrack}$ and using the rotation approximation: ô _(j) =Ô _(j) e ^(−iω) ¹ ^(t) the following equations of motions (equations (11), (12), and (13)) are generated:

$\begin{matrix} {{\frac{\partial{\hat{A}}_{2}}{\partial t} = {{{- \frac{\Gamma_{2}}{2}}{\hat{A}}_{2}} + {g_{2}A\hat{B}} + {\sqrt{\Gamma_{2}}{\hat{N}}_{2}}}},} & (11) \\ {\frac{\partial{\hat{A}}_{3}}{\partial t} = {{{- \frac{\Gamma_{3}}{2}}{\hat{A}}_{3}} + {g_{3}A{\hat{B}}^{\dagger}} + {\sqrt{\Gamma_{3}}{\hat{N}}_{3}}}} & (12) \\ {\frac{\partial\hat{B}}{\partial t} = {{{- \frac{\Gamma_{m}}{2}}\hat{B}} - {g_{2}A^{*}{\hat{A}}_{2}} + {g_{3}A{\hat{A}}_{3}^{\dagger}} + {\sqrt{\Gamma_{m}}{\hat{N}}_{m}}}} & (13) \end{matrix}$

In embodiments, the optical delay coefficient is given by: Γ_(j)=2v _(g) Im(β′) and the Γm represents microwave decay coefficient. In embodiments, the group velocity is:

$v_{g} = \frac{\partial f}{\partial\beta}$

In embodiments, the pump field amplitude A₁ is considered with Π/2 phase (i.e., A₁=Ae^(iΠ/2)=iA), and N₂ and N_(m) are quantum Langevin noise operators. In embodiments, the dissipation is characterized by the time decay rates, included in equations (11) and (13). Thus, based on a fluctuation-dissipation theorem, the Langevin forces are included. In embodiments, the quantum coupled equations of motion presented above describe an evolution of the SPP modes and the driving microwave signal.

In embodiments, no steady state is considered as the interaction is carried out while the propagating SPP modes are coupled to the optical pump. Thus, the time rates of the SPP averages are non-zero, where:

$\left( {\frac{\partial\left\langle {\hat{A}}_{j} \right\rangle}{\partial t} \neq 0} \right)$ To evaluate the entanglement while fulfilling the non-zero requirement, the entanglement between the following factors is evaluated using the Duan's criterion in (14): {circumflex over (B)} and Â ₃ In embodiments, equation (14) is as follows:

$\begin{matrix} {\Lambda = {\begin{matrix} 1 & \left\langle {\hat{A}}_{3} \right\rangle & \left\langle {\hat{B}}^{\dagger} \right\rangle \\ \left\langle {\hat{A}}_{3}^{\dagger} \right\rangle & \left\langle {{\hat{A}}_{3}^{\dagger}{\hat{A}}_{3}} \right\rangle & \left\langle {{\hat{A}}_{3}^{\dagger}{\hat{B}}^{\dagger}} \right\rangle \\ \left\langle \hat{B} \right\rangle & \left\langle {{\hat{A}}_{3}\hat{B}} \right\rangle & \left\langle {{\hat{B}}^{\dagger}\hat{B}} \right\rangle \end{matrix}}} & (14) \end{matrix}$ and that entanglement exists whenever the determinant is negative (Λ<0). In embodiments, average rate equations (equations (15), (16), and (17)) are obtained by using equations (11), (12), and (13):

$\begin{matrix} {\frac{\partial\left\langle {\hat{A}}_{2} \right\rangle}{\partial t} = {{{- \frac{\Gamma_{2}}{2}}\left\langle {\hat{A}}_{2} \right\rangle} + {g_{2}A\left\langle \hat{B} \right\rangle}}} & (15) \\ {\frac{\partial\left\langle {\hat{A}}_{3} \right\rangle}{\partial t} = {{{- \frac{\Gamma_{3}}{2}}\left\langle {\hat{A}}_{3} \right\rangle} + {g_{3}A\left\langle {\hat{B}}^{\dagger} \right\rangle}}} & (16) \\ {\frac{\partial\left\langle \hat{B} \right\rangle}{\partial t} = {{{- \frac{\Gamma_{m}}{2}}\left\langle \hat{B} \right\rangle} - {g_{2}A^{*}\left\langle {\hat{A}}_{2} \right\rangle} + {g_{3}A\left\langle {\hat{A}}_{3}^{\dagger} \right\rangle}}} & (17) \end{matrix}$ Next, the regression method is used to model the rate equations of the following averages:

⟨Â₃^(†)Â₃⟩, ⟨Â₃^(†)B̂^(†)⟩, ⟨Â₃B̂⟩  and  ⟨B̂^(†)B̂⟩

In embodiments, equations (15), (16), and (17) are solved to obtain values to evaluate a condition in equation (14) at specific time interval t=L/v_(g). In embodiments, microwave and optical operators are considered uncorrelated at t=0, and thus:

$\left\langle {{\hat{A}}_{j}^{\dagger}{\hat{B}}^{\dagger}} \right\rangle{_{t = 0}{= {\sqrt{\left\langle {{\hat{B}}^{\dagger}\hat{B}} \right\rangle}{_{t = 0}{\sqrt{\left\langle {{\hat{A}}_{j}^{\dagger}{\hat{A}}_{j}} \right\rangle}{_{t = 0}{\left\langle {{\hat{A}}_{j}\hat{B}} \right\rangle{_{t = 0}{= {\sqrt{\left\langle {{\hat{B}}^{\dagger}\hat{B}} \right\rangle}{_{t = 0}{\sqrt{\left\langle {{\hat{A}}_{j}^{\dagger}{\hat{A}}_{j}} \right\rangle}_{t = 0}}}}}}}}}}}}}$ In embodiments, the number of microwave photons at t=0, are as follows:

⟨Â₃^(†)Â₃⟩_(t = 0) = 0⟨Â₂^(†)Â₂⟩_(t = 0) = 0⟨B̂₃^(†)B̂⟩_(t = 0)

Based on the preceding examples and equations, an electrical capacitor is considered with air filling material. In embodiments, a graphene doping concentration is n₀=10¹⁸ m⁻³, the pump frequency is ω₁/2Π=193 THz and the temperature is T=3 mK. In embodiments, the SPP propagation constant β (and the decay time constant F are shown in FIG. 2 as a relationship to optical frequency. As such, by calculating a from the values of β, it is shown that for a separating distance of d=1 μm (where C=8.85 μF/m²), the SPP field amplitude is identical to zero at the electrodes location x, is

$\mspace{20mu}{x = {{\pm \frac{d}{2}}\left( {{i.e.},{e^{{- \alpha}\;\frac{d}{2}} = e^{- 34}}} \right)}}$

In embodiments, width W=1 μm and the length L is considered with different values. As shown in FIG. 3, the entanglement condition Λ is evaluated versus the waveguide length. In embodiments, the optical pump intensity is |A₁|²=10⁶, the microwave number of photons is

B̂⁺B̂_(t = 0) = 10⁴. And, the three different microwave frequencies (ω_(m)/2Π) are considered—5 GHz, 15 GHz, and 45 GHz. Thus, the fields are entangled for different waveguide lengths. In embodiments, the entanglement is stronger for a larger microwave frequency. In embodiments, the entanglement strength increases against the waveguide length until losses begin to take over. In FIG. 4, a number of generated photons at the lower sideband is calculated. In embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, a greater number of photons are generated for an optimum waveguide length. In embodiments, with limited losses, both the entanglement and the number of photos at the lower sideband have the same optimum waveguide length (L=2.7 μm).

FIGS. 5 and 6 shows a relationship between an entanglement condition versus an optimum waveguide length (L=2.7 μm). In embodiments, different microwave frequencies are analyzed. In FIG. 5, ω_(m)/2Π with values at 5 GHz, 15 GHz, and 20 GHz are considered. In FIG. 6, ω_(m)/2Π with values at 60 GHz, 80 GHz, and 90 GHz. In both FIGS. 5 and 6, the entanglement depends on pump intensity. In FIG. 5, the entanglement is stronger for larger pump intensities. In FIG. 6, the entanglement is maximized over pump intensities and gets weaker for larger pump intensities. For example at ω_(m)/2Π=5 GHz, the entanglement is stronger for larger pump intensities. For ω_(m)/2Π=90 GHz, reaches it maximum at |A₁|²=1.8×10⁷. In embodiments, the entanglement gets weaker for larger intensities and disappears for intensities greater than |A₁|²=2.5×10⁷.

In FIG. 7, the example entanglement condition Λ and the number of generated photons at the lower sideband are evaluated versus the microwave number of photons. In embodiments, the entanglement is stronger for larger number of microwave photons. In embodiments, the entanglement is also stronger for the number of photons generated at the lower sideband. In embodiments, different microwave frequencies are considered. Thus, the entanglement strength and the number of generated photons become intensified for higher microwave frequencies. In FIG. 8, the number of optical photons at ω₃ versus the microwave number of photons is determined with |A₁|²=10⁶ and L=2.7 μm.

In FIGS. 9 and 10, the entanglement condition Λ is analyzed against microwave frequency. In embodiments, different pump intensities are considered. In FIG. 9, the entanglement is considered for values of |A₁|² at 9×10⁶, 10.9×10⁶, and 12.9×10⁶. In FIG. 10, the pump intensities are considered for values of |A₁|² at 1.9×10⁷, 2.1×10⁷, and 2.4×10⁷. In embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the entanglement is stronger for higher microwave frequency and larger pump intensity. In embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, the entanglement strength increases against microwave frequency until reaching an optimal value and then starts to decrease until there is no entanglement. In embodiments, both the optimum frequency and the frequency at which disentanglement is reached are for smaller for a larger pump intensity. However, a large pump intensity may result in stronger entanglement.

For example, for |A₁|²=1.9×10⁷, the entanglement strength is maximal at the optimum microwave frequency ω_(m)/2Π=86 GHz and disentanglement is reached at ω_(m)/2Π=100 GHz. However, for |A₁|²=2.4×10⁷, the entanglement optimum frequency is ω_(m)/2Π=76 GHz and disentanglement is reached at ω_(m)/2Π=96 GHz. In these non-limiting examples, the entanglement at ω_(m)/2Π=76 for |A₁|²=2.4×10⁷ is stronger than that at ω_(m)/2Π=86 for |A₁|²=1.9×10⁷.

Based on the above example formulas and charts, microwave and optical fields entanglement based on electrical capacitor loaded with graphene plasmonic waveguide are analyzed for optimal values. In embodiments, a microwave voltage is applied to the capacitor while a graphene waveguide is subjected to an optical surface plasmon polariton (i.e., SPP) input. Accordingly, SPP sidebands are generated at the expense of the input SPP pump and the driving microwave signal. In embodiments, a quantum mechanics model is generated to describe the fields interactions and derived motion equations indicates entanglement between the microwave and the lower SPP sideband.

In embodiments, Duan's criterion is used to investigate the entanglement. In embodiments, the equations needed to evaluate the Duan's determinant are derived from the motion equation using the quantum regression theorem. Thus, the microwave signal and the lower SPP sideband are entangled over a vast microwave frequency. In embodiments, the entanglement is evaluated against the waveguide length. Limited by losses, it is observed that an optimum waveguide length at which the entanglement strength (and number of photons at the lower side band) is maximized. Additionally, the entanglement versus the SPP pump intensity takes into account an optimum length. In embodiments, the entanglement is stronger for larger pump intensity. However, for intensive pump inputs and microwave frequencies greater than 50 GHz, there is an optimum pump intensity at which the entanglement is maximized and then decreases for larger intensity values until disentanglement is observed. In embodiments, the entanglement is evaluated versus the microwave number of photons. The larger the number of microwave photons, the stronger the entanglement. In addition, the entanglement is evaluated versus the microwave frequency. It is found that the entanglement is attained over a particular range with a particular pump intensity. Thus, a frequency tunable process is provided for effective microwave-optimal entanglement.

Even though particular combinations of features are recited in the claims and/or disclosed in the specification, these combinations are not intended to limit the disclosure of the possible implementations. In fact, many of these features may be combined in ways not specifically recited in the claims and/or disclosed in the specification. Although each dependent claim listed below may directly depend on only one other claim, the disclosure of the possible implementations includes each dependent claim in combination with every other claim in the claim set.

While various actions are described as selecting, displaying, transferring, sending, receiving, generating, notifying, and storing, it will be understood that these example actions are occurring within an electronic computing and/or electronic networking environment and may require one or more computing devices, as described in FIG. 11, to complete such actions. Furthermore, it will be understood that these various actions can be performed by using a touch screen on a computing device (e.g., touching an icon, swiping a bar or icon), using a keyboard, a mouse, or any other process for electronically selecting an option displayed on a display screen to electronically communicate with other computing devices. Also it will be understood that any of the various actions can result in any type of electronic information to be displayed in real-time and/or simultaneously on multiple user devices. For FIGS. 2 to 9, the electronic graphs may be generated by a computing device, such as device 1000, and displayed via a graphical user device (GUI).

No element, act, or instruction used in the present application should be construed as critical or essential unless explicitly described as such. Also, as used herein, the article “a” is intended to include one or more items and may be used interchangeably with “one or more.” Where only one item is intended, the term “one” or similar language is used. Further, the phrase “based on” is intended to mean “based, at least in part, on” unless explicitly stated otherwise. Also, the phrase “converted text,” or “converted information” may indicate information that has been converted from handwritten or non-handwritten information to printed information. The phrase “information” may indicate letters, words, numbers, and/or symbols. The phrase “text” may indicate letters, numbers, and/or symbols. The phrases “information” and “text” may indicate the same thing, i.e., letters, numbers, and/or symbols. Also, while the above examples are associated with prescriptions, pharmacists, and doctors, the above example actions may also be used for other scenarios and analysis of other types of handwritten text, such as with purchase orders, shipping orders, etc.
